Creating Forms for online payment with cgi

Newbie question

[Movie_House]

I've just registered as a Worldpay customer but I can't for the life of me, get my head around forms and CGI.
I've constructed my own form in Dreamweaver with all the necessary order information but I haven't got a clue how to intergrate it with Worldpay.

The information they sent me is even more confusing. I looked at the example pages they have on their site but when I look at the source, it all seems to run a CGI program which I obviously don't have.

I'd really like to complete the form in Dreamweaver but not having any idea how to send the info isn't helping.

Much appreciate any brain time you can donate to this problem.

Sorry, but so far it looks like no one has had any specific help to offer.

I haven't developed an interface for WorldPay but I've worked with similar services. The cgi program usually resides on THEIR server, you don't need it on your server (and I saw a statement to that effect in the WorldPay FAQs.)

You have my sympathy. The instructions for these services can be quite dense and obtuse - very hard for a human to parse. The more they try to "dumb it down" the harder it can be to understand, especially if you actually know a bit about programming.

Usually there's no other way except to slog through their information, help files and examples. Too many details are specific to the particular service, so it's hard to offer much in the way of generalized help.

Don't you just have to fire off a string of values to their API? I haven't worked with them myself but that is usually the practice.

What is the structure of the information you have to send to them?

I can send you a CGI that uses World Pay. if you are familiar with Perl and CGI this may help
